The Retirement Thread

[oldwheels]

Good morning.
Well that fatigue came back big style yesterday. I was back in bed by 09.30. Up at mid day then back in bed by about 1400.
Bad today. Whole body shaking, pouring sweat and weak.....so weak. I managed to get down stairs on my bum.
I will try the Doctor again tomorrow, see if I have better luck. I have only paid into the NHS for 58 years so I may be expecting too much

If no improvement I would dial 999 and get an ambulance. Alternatively 111 in Scotland anyway but don't know what the system in England is.

That as well. Ever noticed cars stopped at the roadside or a layby with the passenger door open and the driver round at that side. No passenger, wonder what they are doing?

Engage brain before posting. Got mixed up with Jimmy Riddle. Doh

MrsD was close to calling 999 earlier on for a paramedic.
TBH hospital is not a place I want to be at the moment.

Many A+E departments are less busy than normal, but if you need to go ,then you need to seen.

Just a thought, fatigue - salt or iron deficiency

This has been going on too long. I think you should be insisting on getting taken in for some decent tests. I know we are all prone to soldiering on and trying things ourselves, like rest days, supplements, pain killers, etc but I think it's gone beyond that by the sounds of it.

I thought of iron this morning and maybe that is worth trying.
What I am asking for (with no success) is a blood test to determine the problem.

I think you are right Mo. No, I know you are right. If I get nowhere tomorrow I will phone 111.....it needs sorting.
Just 6 months ago I could enjoy 20/30 milers......today I can't walk down the stairs.
I promise to sort it tomorrow.

I have just woken up, I sat on the sofa to drink a coffee and have a little read and the next thing I know is I have been asleep.

 

[dickyknees]

No Sunday ride for me, the old dodgy knee is playing up, think I've inherited Dickyknee's old ones

I do hope not. You have my sympathies, hope the pain is not to bad.

 

[numbnuts]

It's

When I took Molly for a walk this morning, I counted at least 50 camper vans parked up on the promenade in Rhos on Sea. They must be having a reunion of some sorts but what about social distancing though?

Sunday lunch was excellent.

If there were 50 cars parked, would you be concerned about Social Distancing?
